I’m a post-doctoral researcher at The Institute of Biological Psychiatry in Roskilde, Denmark. My research focuses on bioinformatics and statistical genetics of complex diseases, which I’m currently applying towards mental disorders. I’m the recipient of a 2021 Lundbeck Foundation post-doctoral research grant to estimate the societal cost conferred by individuals’ genetic liability towards mental disease and potential benefits of earlier diagnosis and intervention.

I received my PhD from the University of Copenhagen, Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, during which, I collaborated very broadly with political scientists, clinicians, epidemiologists and other bioinformaticians brought together through the iPSYCH consortium. A recent pre-print, where we empirically estimated the best data integration protocols in biobanks and our publication in Nature Human Behavior, utilizing complex trait analyses methods to lend credence to the social science hypothesis that educational attainment and intelligence test performance are predictive of voter turnout are a couple of projects highlighting my doctoral work.

I have previously worked in Bioinformatics teams at The Genome Institute at Washington University in St. Louis, The Human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor College of Medicine and obtained my Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Missouri University of Science and Technology.

My home is in beautiful Copenhagen, Denmark.
